I won't say "Nice find!" like some others, as I also get emails from Zednek and a LOT OF PHOTOS about museums, shows, collections in the Czech Republic.

I do plan on visiting this museum next May prior to the Nuenen show.  So if anyone needs brass tags for their Czech engines, I can possibly pick up a few and have them at Nuenen or mail them to people after I return home from that trip.

I've been exchanging emails with Zednek for as long as Arnie and hope to actually meet him next May.  I've been impressed with the photos he keeps sending me as there are a lot more early Czech engines in that country than I was originally led to believe by some of the other European engine collectors.

This museum has got an incredible collection of stationary engines.

Unless you read Czech, use Google Translate for full enjoyment.

I was delighted to find 18 Lorenz and two Benz engines to add to the registry.  Two of the Lorenz and both of the Benz engines are the very early ignitor-fired variety.  Other unusual Lorenz engines include the first factory water pumping outfit I've seen and the largest Lorenz I've seen at 25-30 hp!
